2 Chronicles 16
1 In the thirty-sixth year of Asa's reign, Baasha, king of Israel, invaded Judah. He fortified Ramah to stop anyone coming from or going to Asa, king of Judah.
Nan trann-sizyèm ane règn Asa a, Baasha, wa a Israël la, te vin monte kont Juda, e li te ranfòse Rama pou anpeche ni antre, ni sòti, vè Asa, wa Juda a.
2 Asa took the silver and gold from the treasuries of the Lord's Temple and the king's palace and sent them to Ben-hadad, king of Syria, who lived in Damascus, with a message that said:
Konsa, Asa te pote fè sòti ajan avèk lò soti nan trezò lakay SENYÈ a avèk lakay wa a, e li te voye yo kote Ben-Hadad, wa Syrie a, ki te rete Damas la. Li te di:
3 “Make an alliance between me and you like the one between my father and your father. Look at the silver and gold I've sent you. Go ahead and break your agreement with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he will leave me and go home.”
“Kite genyen yon alyans antre ou menm avèk mwen, tankou antre papa m ak papa ou. Gade byen, mwen te voye ba ou ajan avèk lò. Ale, kraze alyans ou an avèk Baasha, wa Israël la, pou li retire li sou mwen.”
4 King Ben-hadad did as Asa had asked, and he sent his armies and their commanders to attack the towns of Israel. They conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim, and all the storehouse towns of Naphtali.
Konsa, Ben-Hadad te koute wa Asa. Li te voye chèf lame li yo kont vil Israël yo, e yo te frape Ijjon, Dan, Abel-Maïm, avèk tout vil depo Nephthali yo.
5 When Baasha heard about it, he stopped fortifying Ramah and gave up his project.
Lè Baasha te tande sa, li te sispann ranfòse Rama, e li te kite travay li.
6 So King Asa went with all the men of Judah, and they carried away from Ramah the stones and the timbers Baasha had used for building, and with them he built up Geba and Mizpah.
Alò, Wa Asa te mennen tout Juda, yo te retire wòch Rama yo avèk gwo bwa ki t ap sèvi pou bati yo, e avèk yo, li te ranfòse Guéba avèk Mitspa.
7 But right then Hanani the seer came to Asa, king of Judah, and told him, “Because you have put your trust in the king of Aram and have not put your trust in the Lord your God, your opportunity to destroy the army of the king of Aram has gone.
Nan lè sa a, Hanani, konseye a te vin kote Asa, wa Juda a. Li te di li: “Akoz ou te depann de wa Syrie a e ou pa t depann de SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, pou sa, lame wa Syrie a gen tan chape nan men ou.
8 Didn't the Ethiopians and Libyans have a huge army with many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you trusted in the Lord, he made you victorious over them.
Èske Etyopyen yo avèk Libyen yo pa t yon lame ki vast avèk anpil cha ak chevalye? Men akoz ou te depann de SENYÈ a, Li te livre yo nan men ou.
9 For the Lord looks all over the earth for the opportunity to show his power on behalf of those who are completely and sincerely devoted to him. You have acted stupidly in doing this. So from now on you will always be at war.”
Paske zye a SENYÈ mache toupatou sou latè pou Li kapab bay soutyen ki fò a sila ki gen kè dedye a Li nèt yo. Nou te aji an foli nan afè sa a. Anverite, depi koulye a, nou va toujou gen gè.”
10 Asa was angry with the seer. He was so angry with him over this that he put him in prison. At this same time Asa started to mistreat some of the people.
Alò, Asa te fache avèk konseye a, e li te mete li nan prizon, paske li te anraje avèk li pou bagay sa a. Epi nan menm lè a, Asa te oprime kèk moun nan pèp la.
11 The rest of what Asa did, from beginning to end, is written down in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
Alò, zèv Asa yo, soti nan premye a jis rive nan dènye a, veye byen, yo ekri nan Liv A Wa a Juda avèk Israël yo.
12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa had trouble with disease in his feet, which only became worse and worse. Yet even in his sickness he did not turn to the Lord, but only the physicians.
Nan trant-nevyèm ane règn li a, Asa te vin malad nan pye li. Maladi a te grav, men menm nan maladi a, li pa t chache SENYÈ a, men pito doktè.
13 Asa died in the forty-first year of his reign.
Konsa, Asa te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo lè l fin mouri nan karanteyinyèm ane règn pa li a.
14 He was buried in the tomb that he had prepared for himself in the City of David. They placed him on a bed full of spices, perfumed oils, and fragrances. Then they made a great fire to honor him.
Yo te antere li nan pwòp tonm ke li te fouye pou li menm nan lavil David la, e yo te kouche li nan plas repo ke li te plen avèk plizyè kalite epis ki te mele selon metye a yon moun ki konn fè pafen; epi yo te fè yon trè gwo dife pou li.
